September 1, 2008

Pros:

Works on stubborn comedones and moderate acne. Works slowly on cysts, but it does bring them down within a few days.
Removes redness, most BP gels heighten redness, but Dan's BP is really gentle.
I'm not as oily as before.

Cons:

Little bit of dryness. Easily fixed. Doesn't work 100% on all pimples, some still come through, but I don't mind being 90% clear.

I've tried Benzaclin, RAM and differin as well as over the counter BP, yet all those don't compare to Dan's BP. I'm never going to waste time and money at a derms office ever again. This BP works and does not make my face red, it seems to help with redness. Best of all, it actually works on acne! Ever since I started to experiment with RAM and differin, my forehead has been clogged with closed comedones and nothing could get rid of them. Not even switching back to the usual over the counter BP creams that used to work in the past for me could get rid of these whiteheads. Dan's BP was my last attempt before I truly quit even trying to rid myself of acne and I'm really glad I did. This stuff works like nothing else and it works gently. Don't bother with retin-a or with products that claim half a years wait time before results occur. Dan's BP works fast and it continues to work consistently. Thanks so much Dan!

Pros:

Dries clear, great spot treatment, works as effectively as 10% BP without harsh drying effect.

Cons:

Bleaches fabric like all BP products and I do not like the packaging of this product

I love this product because it goes on clear and nobody can see you have anything on your face. I do not use makeup or moisturizer, and do not have very bad acne but I do get the occasional pimple and have very sensitive skin. This product is invisible and i use it as spot treatment day and night. There was a visible reduction in pustule redness and size after one night of use! Does not dry out skin if used on trouble spots. The only thing I do not like is the packaging. I bought the travel size bottle which may have different packaging than the big bottles but I find the medicine hard to dispense and the bottle is hard to squeeze. However, I don't really care because the product is awesome.

Pros:

Goes on clear and absorbs fast. Affordable.

Cons:

Irritated face for a few weeks.

This product is great because its a clear gel and doesn't go on streaky. It's very affordable compared to the Neutrogena On The Spot which is a very small tube. I'm still using my old 4oz tubes and am glad that they made a bigger size.

Pros:

Almost eliminates my stubborn acne.. still hard for me to believe.

Cons:

Face is somewhat dry and red with 10x per week application.

I'm 35 with moderate but very stubborn acne ever since I was 16. I've used virtually every Rx product incl accutane. I was on topical antibiotics and differin for the last 6 years, and it worked well for most of that time but gradually my acne came back. So six weeks ago I had to switch to doxycycline and oral e-mycin, which used to work very well but this time stopped working. I suspect the bacteria became resistent. That's why I tried the Regimen. After just 2 weeks, my acne is 95% reduced. It's quite amazing, I wouldn't have believed a simple OTC product could work this well.

Pros:

Amazing! Works so well, seen a massive improvement after only a few days. Also leaves my skin nice and dry, my skin looks perfect when it is dry and not covered in oil all day :)

Cons:

Only con I can think of is that there isn't a U.K stockist, so it takes forever to arrive and also costs quite a lot, but it is so worth it!

Also seeing such a massive imporvement withing a week (Swithed from 5% to this)

Amazing, the best BP treatment I've ever used, I can't believe I didn't come across this sooner. Give it a try, chances are it will work, its like god in a bottle :)

Pros:

Light, non-irritating, very easily absorbed without the poreclogging ingredients in "vanishing" type creams, doesn't leave a peeling residue like other gels, CHEAP, not tested on animals, prevents breaking out!

Cons:

None.

Highly recommended for anyone who has acne.

Pros:

Great price, works quickly, easy to use, no smell, less drying then previosly used products.

Cons:

None!

I had mild to moderate acne on my face my whole adult life. Found this by chance on the internet. (My next step was going to be an expensive dermotologist.) I love this stuff! I don't find it to be too drying. I put it on after my shower, it dries while I do my hair, and then I mosturize and put make-up on. At night, an hour or more before bed, I wash my face with the cleanser, put BP on thick, let it dry, mosturize and go to bed. Won't stain sheets if you let it dry first! My face has not been this clear in years. It has really helped my to be more confident. Great product!

Pros:

Fab, dries pretty fast, WORKS (most importantly)

Cons:

Bleaches fabrics

Dan, I think I love you. I read a whole bunch of these reviews thinking they were faked by a large crew of underpaid workers in your basement or something but now, I believe. I bought this cheap (large) tube of BP off of your site on Sunday. It arrived Tuesday morning, although that's probably because I live literally a city away from your company. In any case, that night I excitedly applied the "finger" of lotion to my face and neck and waited for it to dry. I have to say that many of you are whiners- It doesn't take that long to dry. Really, now. It only takes about a minute. Then I applied moisturizer and went to sleep. I woke up and blammo! Insta-improvement. Face smoother. Proto-pimples stopped dead in their tracks. It was a dream come true. Mind you, I have moderate acne on my chin and cheeks and a little on the underside of my jaw. It's really helped. Just follow Supreme Leader Dan's regimen and you'll be alright.
